Life changing makeup/beauty products?

[yummy411]

What's the one (or few) (MAC) makeup or beauty products that have changed your life? (okay, a little exaggerated) but you know... something that you can't live without, is always included in your beauty routine, something that has stepped up your makeup game?

Share!

I would have to say to answer my own question is that I love beauty powders after barbie loves mac released, clinique shimmers.. not to glittery but subtle glow.. and beauty burst from barbie loves mac.. i look at browns and neutrals in a whole new light... the 266 brush.. changed my brows forever........ AND lastly.. mac foundation.. now i'm not scared of foundation anymore

so what's your life changing products???

MAC Prep + Prime. I absolutely love this product. It really helps make my skin look flawless. Besides helping even out my skin tone and covering up the not so pretty redness of my skin, it makes my pores disappear! And my foundation goes on so smooth, and I don't need to use as much.

- MAC Select Tint SPF15. Super sheer foundation that's the perfect match for my skin, for parties or on days that my skin is just not looking its best.

- Wet 'n' Wild liquid eyeliners, come in gorgeous shades and last forever.

- Kiehls SPF 15 lip tint in G30. Provides sun protection and a beautifully sheer red tint.

- Maybelline Volum Express Turbo waterproof mascara. holds a curl and lengthens it like nothing else!

- Neutrogena Dry Touch SPF50 sunscreen. dries to a light, non-greasy finish.

- MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack. the perfect black eyeliner, lasts through a sweaty 105 degree Arizona day without smudging a bit.

- Sally Hansen Cornsilk matte powder in No Color. I LOVE that this doesn't add any color and just reduces shine. the lack of color prevents a cakey look.

UDPP. Never knew that eye makeup could last that long.

Fluidline. It's so easy to apply and is the best for a softer version of liquid eyeliner. I never wore that much eyeliner until I started wearing Fluidline.

 

[Simply Elegant]

Fluidlines and coverfx mineral powder foundation. Oh, also Make Up For Ever's shine on powders and Clinique's shimmering tones powders.

 

[Hilly]

MAC 266 brush with brow powder in brownie and porcelain. OMG...i love these items so much!

Clinique E/L with the sharpeners in the lid...i didnt know how to line until I met these guys!

 

[mskitchmas]

UDPP!!! this is definately the big winner for me.

Babor eye cream. Totally depuffs and softens some of those cute little lines I'm starting to develop.

Turtle nail files. The only files that don't wreck my nails. Very gentle.

Mac eye shadows, lipglasses and lip varnishes.

 

[GreekChick]

I would say the Paints. No eye makeup would hold on my eyes before I discovered them.

 

[Bernadette]

MAC Paints
MAC brushes
Everyday Minerals foundations, setting powders and Sunlight concealer.
Borghese Fango Delicato
Smashbox Photofinish Primer
Every N.V. Perricone product I've tried.

Okay, I'll stop myself at those

I dunno about 'changed my life' unless you mean 'messed with my bank account'.

j/k

The one thing I adore and now would not be without are the pigments. I have 11 full jars and 3 quarter-full jars as samples from a friend (including a rare Purple matte - w00t!), and I love them all. I want mooooore. I'm a real tightass with my money, but I love pigments because they're so versatile. I'm able to look past the price because they last forever (so long as they stay dry) and because I mix them into whatever I want or need.

Suppose the second choice goes to the shorthandled brush sets. I have three full sets - the olive handled set, the black ruffle eye set, and a black-ferruled set - and a short-handled 187. I adore them all and use them all.

Smolder Eye Kohl. It's still one of my MAC favorites. I try other things and may not use it for awhile but I always come back to it at some point.

 

[VazCris25]

MAC blacktrack fluidline. Lasts all day!

Bare Minerals Mineral Veil

MAC blush brush #168. Gives amazing face countour!

Mary Kay medium coverage foundation. Goes on lighter than a moisturizer while completely evening out skintone!

 

[chipmunkvoice]

The day i discovered eyelash curlers. No seriously! hahaha curling eyelashes is such a simple thing but it makes SO much difference... especially for short (well, mine arent really short but they're not really long either), straight asian eyelashes. Yay for Shiseido's curler.... and false eyelashes

Bobbi Brown Gel Liner ... which is pretty much the same as MAC fluidline but i just chose Bobbi Brown, i dont know why. But i just LOVE whoever came up with gel liners.... they are a god-send.

 

[Sikfrmthemirror]

haha one word "Teddy", eyeliner that is.

i went up to the counter and i was with my mother and she told the MA, my daughter needs an eyeliner that isnt black because black is to harsh. and she put teddy on me and ever since then i can wear nothing on my face but some teddy and ill look done up.

I have to go with MAC fluidline, it is like permanent on your eyes!

I am also a big fan of MAC's Smolder eye kohl. Also for me SPF 50 and Olay Age defying cleanser. It is like a scrub and cleanser in one and it makes my skin glow!

I could name products forever!
